right after the man sprayed on sunscreen and went up in flames. how did it happen? and why did he get burned? and the queen rocks out. abc news' unprecedented and exclusive behind-the-scenes access for one of the biggest concerts ever. from sir elton john, to sir paul mccartney. the rock legends party with 250,000 people, to celebrate her majesty. good morning, everyone. hey, robin and lara. boy, so many superstars out last night to celebrate the queen. historic morning today, starting in a different way, at church. >> it really is. we love hearing elton john to begin the morning. but you're right about that, george. we've seen the royal family

arrive at this beautiful thanksgiving church service at st. paul's. but her husband of 64 years, prince philip, was not there by her side, as you know. but she was quite composed, as always. looking, well, majestic in the mint green dress and hat. and 2,000 guests were there. this was a very special moment for queen elizabeth, lara. >> proving every day, age is just a number. she is resplendent. and we're about to see the royal family, have lunch at westminster hall. then, they will roll through the streets in a carriage procession. that happens about 9:30 eastern this morning. and then, back to buckingham palace, where the queen will wave from the balcony. we'll be here for every second of it. >> people have been camping overnight, to see it. they love it when the royals come out on the balcony. it was quite an evening here last night, the queen's concert.

and katie couric was here with behind-the-scenes access. it's hard to believe how packed it was. >> it was a sea of union jacks. i want to point out, you'll notice in the videos that you see today, if you're wondering who the woman is with the queen, in the absence of prince philip, she's been accompanied to all of the day's events by her lady in waiting. >> many people wanted to know that. let's get to abc's nick watt for the latest on prince philip. he will be 91 years old this weekend, hospitalized late on monday. good morning, nick. >> reporter: good morning, guys, from an increasingly loud trafalgar square, here to watch the day unfold. but no prince philip. he's in the hospital. but the queen will be flying solo. a day like today comes along once in a blue moon. as far as the queen's concerned, the show must go on. the young and the glamorous royals are out in force.

there for grandma, the star of the show. for only the second time in 1,000 years of british history, a monarch is celebrating 60 years on the throne. loyal subjects camped out overnight for a glimpse. >> she puts the great in great britain. so, that's why we're here. we're here to celebrate that. >> reporter: the queen is determined not to let her husband's health get in the way of the day. for instan prince philip's bladder infection. the prince, who turns 91 this weekend, will remain in the hospital for a few days. but was sorely missed last night at the jubilee concert. >> the dearly sad thing about this evening is that my father couldn't be here with us. and if we shout loud enough, he might just hear it in hospital and get better. >> reporter: it was royal

razzmatazz. elton john. stevie wonder. sir paul mccartney. celebrating with 250,000 people packed into the streets around the palace. the climax, fireworks and the clean pushing a diamond to ignite the so-called national beacon. london beats las vegas. this morning, a return to more traditional british pomp and pageantry. >> we're not going to see another 60-year reign in our lifetime. it's important to come to be a part of it. >> reporter: and it's a party, the likes of which, you'll never see again. now, over the next few hours, we're going to have a carriage -- over the next few hours, a carriage procession. weather permitting. we're going to have the air force fly past. the royals out on the balcony. remember the royal wedding? a bit like that. and prince philip, hopefully watching on tv from his hospital bed. and, robin, we wish him well. >> we certainly do, nick. nick, just a short distance, at

trafalgar square. joining us now is piers morgan, the host of "piers morgan" on hln. >> great to be here. it's fantastic, isn't it? >> what is the feeling of the people here? >> it's been a real resurgence on the popularity of the modern monarchy. but the viewing figures for these events in britain have been massively high than they were ten years ago. and i think this -- maybe the monarchy was going to die out, too. this is a real statement, these four days. we are back. >> and the royals seem very comfortable and very much wanting to be with the people. it's something -- >> the concert was great. wills and harry and camilla. my favorite moment was the archbishop and canterbury, the head of the church of england, rocking "all my loving" with paul mccartney. >> that's the feeling you have. there's a sense of pride.

on a serious note, not having prince philip, that's got to be very difficult for the queen. he's been there by her side. >> certainly when you saw her going into st. paul's cathedral, when she's on her own. and that reminded us that she's always had prince philip. very sad for her. but he's a top guy. it was a brutal out there on sunday. my co-anchor, brooke, was taken to hospital for hyperthermia. it was a ghastly day. and i expect at the age of 90, it got a bit much for him. but the family goes on. they are incredible, stoic people. >> they are. he'll be celebrating 91 this weekend, on sunday. >> his birthday on sunday. happy birthday, sir, if you're watching. i'm sure you're watching "good morning america." >> of course, he is. why wouldn't he be? >> not watching cnn, obviously. >> i love you. what is it about -- we know you're happy and the pride and the people here. but what is so universal that folks back in america and around the world --

>> people say why do americans love the royal family so much? one, you don't have one. your president lasts eight years. the queen has been here 60 years. what it brings for the country is a sense of real stability. and with that comes a sense of calmness. in times of crisis, in good times and bad, the skween queen steady head of our country. it's a great horse-drawn carriage procession. there is the queen. she's been there for 13 years longer than i've been alive, in that palace, just being a steady hand on the tiller. and i think she's a wonderful lady. i think that the crowds out here, four days running, they've been camping overnight, tells you all you need to know. >> in this great british weather. >> it's going to rain. i hope they wrap it up -- a classic english summer. it's going to rain, rain, rain. it's been raining for 60 years. >> reminiscent of 60 years. heavy downpour on her coronation. >> it rained on her coronation.

and rained almost every day since. >> and on cue, the band comes marching in. you are wonderful. thank you. enjoy. enjoy. >> all right. piers morgan. george, wish you were here. >> we'll get back to you in a bit, robin. now, let's go to josh elliott and the morning's top stories. >> we're going to begin with a violent storm tearing through the midwest overnight. three people were killed in missouri when heavy winds from a thunderstorm blew over their mobile home. authorities had to close a major highway because of debris and fallen power lines. sam is by with more on today's conditions. a black eye for the tsa. five workers at the airport in ft. myers, florida, have been fired. 30 others have been suspended, for not performing random pat-downs on hundreds of passengers. it's believed to be the largest disciplinary action taken by the agency. and a battle that could influence the presidential battle comes to a head in wisconsin today. a recall election is being held,

aimed at forcing republican governor scott walker out of office. he was targeted after taking co rights from state workers. polls show walker holds a slight lead over democrat tom barrett. disney will soon restrict junk good advertising during children's programs. products advertising will have to meet nutritional standards. michelle obama will join robert eisner in the new standards today. venus will pass between the earth and the sun beginning just after 6:00 p.m. eastern time. some parts of the world saw this back in 2004. but it won't happen again until roughly 2117. so, sam champion, this is your last chance at seeing venus on this day. just saying. i love you, sam. george, you got a couple more. don't worry. >> let's hope.

let's talk a little politics now. "your voice, your vote" with one of the most powerful voices in the cable universe, bill o'reilly. also, best-selling author. most recently of "killing lincoln." welcome back bill o'reilly. we launched "killing lincoln" here on "gma," and look how well you did. >> it's all because of stephanopoulos here. don't want to intrude on the royal family. how do you get that job? i'll wear the hat. >> the queen's jubilee. >> i have to tell you. if i weren't 250, i would have been throwing in tea in the harbor. i'm not a big royals fan. you have to give them credit. they don't work. and they make millions of dollars. how do i get that gig? >> you work hard for your money. >> that's right. what does she do? >> she was working hard before. let's talk some politics now. bill clinton/barack obama, all across manhattan last night. >> across manhattan.

>> they were. they were everywhere. >> they're out there, looking at you right now. >> so, you know, we saw a little jujitsu from clinton. republicans and conservatives accused barack obama of socialist policy. he says that romney and the republicans are going to bring european economics to america. and he said it would be calamitous for our country and the world. >> after how many drinks? how many drinks did he have? this is insane. all of these guys. it's amusing to me and i'm sure it is to you. it's all theater. romney's going to bring european socialism to the united states. does anyone believe that? >> he said the cutbacks, the spending cuts that romney will bring austerity now. and the tax cuts will blow up the future. >> how does he know? the economy's terrible right now. and voters have to decide two things. whether they want to continue to go with barack obama's big,

topdown government stimulation, which has not worked so far. it might work. who knows? or do they want to change to a leaner, meaner, private sector-driven economy. that's what the voter has to decide in november. >> and the jobs report that came out friday, that seemed to crystallize a new conventional wisdom. and romney has a real shot. if you're giving him some advice, what does he need to do to seal the deal? >> if the election were held tomorrow, romney would win. people are afraid. it's not ideological like it is in wisconsin. they're afraid. if i were romney, i'd get out of the way. don't be overbearing. and he has to perform well in the three debates. he has to be calm. he has to put himself through as authoritative. i'm going to solve these problems. all right? we gave the president three years. it's a mess. if you want to vote again on hope, go ahead. but i have the ability to solve these problems. >> you're saying, a do no harm

campaign. >> right. it's a referendum on president obama. so, mitt romney has to be lower key. but then, in the debates, he has to come on strong. that's where he's got to go, here's what i'm going to do, "a," "b", and "c." barack obama a great debater. he's very quick. >> let's talk about wisconsin a little bit. you agree with george will this is the second-most important election in the country this year. why should the rest of the country care about this? republican governor, scott walker, facing a recall election. >> the big story in wisconsin is ideology. walker has done a good job. he brought the deficit down in that state, big-time. and unemployment is down a full percent in one year. he's done a good job on paper. but the left hates him because he wants to reform how government workers are paid. >> and take away their collective bargaining rights. >> he wants to take it away. but it's reform. illinois doesn't have any of that. and they're going down the

drain. they're going to collapse. walker says, we can't continue to spend at this level. we have to reform it. we have to rein in collective bargaining. it's ideological. people have to make up their minds. do we want fiscal solvency? >> do you think he goes on to win? >> i do. thanks for making my book a big best-seller. >> all right. we're going to switch gears. more wisconsin outrage, however relative. after green bay packers receiver, donald driver, the newly-minted champ there on "dancing with the stars" did this. he tossed his football cleats to a young boy, only to have a woman wrestle them away from the young fella. but there is a happy ending to the story. amy robach is here with it all. >> reporter: it made waves worldwide. hours after that video was posted, people were commenting from thailand to toronto.

at the center of it all, an unexpecting 12-year-old boy, who was excited to catch a shoe from his hero. not realizing there was a middle-aged woman next to him, ready for a fight. it's no surprise that everyone wants a piece of donald driver. >> yes. >> reporter: winner of this year's "dancing with the stars" and green bay packers star wide receiver. >> touchdown for driver. >> reporter: so, as he left the field at an annual charity baseball game sunday for his children's organization -- fans in the bleachers went wild as he started peeling off parts of his uniform. he even tossed up his cleat into the stand, aiming for a young buy in his sights. >> i was really excited and hopeful of catching something. >> reporter: but look what happens to 12-year-old steven wagner next. look at it again. this grown woman, identified as robin, physically wrestles with the 12-year-old. eventually yanking the cleat out

of her hand. and then, posts this to her facebook page. writing, donald is missing a shoe. >> i felt like it was thrown to me. and didn't have to do it in that kind of a way. >> reporter: many others felt that way, too. within hours of the video being posted, there was an overwhelming negative response. comments alling ereth a very selfish woman. and her actions, truly disturbing. even donald driver himself chimed in. writing on his own facebook page, i want to get this boy the cleats he deserved. and when we finished our interview with stephen, he did. >> how is everything? >> good. >> good? i have some gifts for you. >> reporter: driver brought stephen the cleats that were meant for him. and ever the good sport, had kind words for the woman who started the whole commotion. >> she's a human being. she made a mistake. and i think at the end of the day, stephen has more than anyone else. i'm glad i put a smile on his

face. >> that, he did. we reached out to robyn ereth for comment. she has no comment. and reportedly, she did apologize to the family. they accepted the apology. she says she thought the cleat was intended for her. >> with what? you or the 12-year-old boy. >> to watch that back. >> there's a packers bar in bangkok, thailand. let's get over to sam champion and the weather. >> the good thing is donald driver always does the right thing. he did the right thing and made the story work out. let's get to pictures. june snow. in a couple of places. we're going to show you in the west, in the sierras, picked up about six inches of snow. mt. washington, new hampshire, a little place with snow, as well. here's what happens in the west. we have a powerful windmaker, rainmaker, snowmaker, as well. it will drop the temperatures behind it. the real problem is the winds. on the fires burning towards the west. we continue to flame those

story. good morning, guys. they're two rituals. as the weather gets warmer this time of year, lathering on the sunscreen, and firing up the grill for good barbecue. but as this story shows, that could be a dangerous combination. these graphic photos show where brett's skin was burned from his grill, when his sunscreen caught fire. >> i've never experienced anything like that in my life. >> reporter: you see his skin appears red. sigworth suffered burns on his back, neck, ear and back. he walked over to the grill, not knowing it w0u8d be flammable after it was on his skin. >> if people were told this was flammable for two minutes on your skin afterwards, people probably wouldn't use it. >> reporter: dan diller, ceo of

and he felt horribly responsible. it wasn't because of his relationship with camilla parker-bowles. people must get rid of that idea. he was a man who cared passionately, tried his best to make it work. but just failed. and you know, who can blame him for that? he's now a happy man. and he is fulfilled. he has himself a role in life. he's doing really well with his charities. >> and the boys. >> they're the real success story because he has brought them up as a single parent. >> yeah. and look at them. >> they're amazing. they're amazing. >> let me say, i loved the book. i learned so much. i know there's a lot of surprising things. penny junor. the book is "prince william, the man who will be king." what a treat to talk to you about this on the momentous occasion. coming up, rachael ray. she is on a bus. she has a book and burgers.
